Career

Before entering acting, Chiang was an author and wrote two poetry books: A is for Albatross: Birds A to Z and A is for Arowana: Freshwater Fish A to Z. [4] [3] The former received the Skipping Stones Honour Award. [3] Chiang had previously played minor roles in short films and commercials prior to being hired as the lead role in Turning Red. She auditioned for the role using her mother's iPhone 6. [6] During the film's development, Chiang was hired at the age of 12 to record scratch vocals as a temporary placeholder, with the understanding that director Domee Shi and producer Lindsay Collins would later cast a professional actress to re-record her lines before the film's release. [1] However, Chiang turned in scratch vocals so strong that Shi and Collins could not envision anyone else in the lead role. [1] They escalated the issue to Pixar chief creative officer Pete Docter, who personally approved of casting Chiang in the lead role. [1]
